Increasing speed of video playback?
 

Windows Media Player can increase the speed of video files, but it seems to be less adjustable with WMP11. In older versions you could choose 1.4x, 2x, and higher, but now it's just slow, normal or fast. Does anybody know how I can watch a .wmv and increase the speed 2x? Do I need to install a previous version of WMP?

VLC should let you do that without a problem. I think MPC even has that ability.

I confirm that Media Player Classic has the capability.

How do I do it in MPC? I've clicked the button near the bottom, but it doesn't seem to work for my files.

I've had that problem with random files where it will/won't actually do the increased speed thing, so I recommeded VLC first since I don't recall ever having problems with that one.

Edit: Perhaps some sort of new .wmv got installed with the newer version of WMP and screwed up the ability to view it at varying speeds? Try .avi files or something else which you can usually do it with.
